Poorly. There used to be a guy named Mark LeMonnier that was a VP of engineering at Ancestry that really fought for his people when these times came. Made the engineers feel very valued. He was recently removed from the company, and with him, the company lost all of its' integrity regarding these events. Many of the best engineers in the company have been removed through executive incompetence, and Nat in particular loves showing the board he can "do what's necessary" to cut costs. To put it simply, they don't handle it well, and it probably won't be handled well until leadership changes happen.
